Memory type for DFI LanPary NFII Ultra B Motherboard

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a DFI Lan Party NFII Ultra B motherboard,
but have never built my own computer before. How do I know what
memory to get? I was thinking of getting DDR PC3200 ram, as the mobo
supports it, but when I go to crucial there are three kinds of DDR
PC3200 ram, and I don't know which to get. The only differences I can
see are one is unbuffered, non-parity, one is unbuffered, and the
other is registered. And the prices get increasingly higher! How do
I know which to get?

Thanks for your time,
Mike

 

Mike,

In all honesty any of them will work on that motherboard. My only
advice is to stay away from the ECC and registered DDR ram. Why?
Cause you definitely don't need them, unless you're running a mid to
high range server.

As for specific specs, at least look for the following:

1. The ram should NOT be ECC, or error checking
2. The ram should NOT be registered, ie it should be called
unbuffered
3. The lower the CAS Latency, the better -- the lower the value, the
better with 2 being the best

Thats it, heres a specific part # of a corsair that you could look
for: CT3264Z40B

That part is Non-ECC, unbuffered and has a CAS Latency of 3.

Good luck,
